Ingredients

Make It

Step 1

Line baking sheets with wax paper.

Step 2

Microwave chocolate in large, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) power for 45 seconds; STIR. If pieces retain some of their original shape, microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring just until melted. Stir in pretzels, cherries and almonds until well coated. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto prepared trays. Refrigerate for 20 minutes. Store in airtight container at room temperature.

NOTE:

Coarsely chopped dried apricots or sweetened dry cranberries can be substituted for the dried cherries.
